Edradour Ballechin #5, 46%,
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2011 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The fifth peated release of Edradour. This one is aged in Marsala casks. Sweet, with clinging fruit and thumping raw smoke. Youthful, embracing, and fleshy in the middle, with ash, anise, and espresso that grow toward the finish. These Ballechin releases keep getting better. Reminds me of a young Islay whisky without the brine and seaweed.
